After arriving at the Mountain of Hardship, Yi Tian found that this was a lawless area outside the jurisdiction of the three major races of the Infernal Court. The strongest cultivator in this Hardship City was only at the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm. However, such a cultivation city had not been taken over by the three major races. To be able to survive in such a place meant that there was a reason for it.
After entering the Mountain of Hardship, Yi Tian did not waste time and directly found the strongest cultivator in the city. It was the cultivator called Qiu Mingzi that Bi Luo mentioned before.
After meeting, Yi Tian quickly found many clues from the other party. This Qiu Mingzi turned out to be the body temporarily occupied by the main soul of Bi Luo. After talking with her, he understood the whole story. The current Bi Luo was just Ning Kuang's second clone, and it was refined by forcefully occupying the soul. Naturally, there were many problems. Bi Luo's main soul had long noticed this and planned in advance to split the soul and directly escape to possess the body of a descendant of the family.
However, because the strength of the soul and the physical body could not be compatible, she could only maintain a lifespan of two to three thousand years at most. For example, the Qiu Mingzi that he saw in the Mountain of Hardship was actually the body that Bi Luo's main soul temporarily occupied after the third possession.
Yi Tian knew that using this cultivation method was not a one-time thing, and there were naturally many disadvantages during the process. Not to mention that the soul's power had weakened a lot after several possessions, if it did not return to the main body for a long time, when it returned in the future, its strength and soul power would not be compatible again.
After talking with Qiu Mingzi for a while, Yi Tian also knew that he had already known about what he had done in the Infernal Court. Although he did not say everything, he was able to generally explain his intentions. Moreover, he even knew about his identity and background, which was why today's appointment was made.
Moreover, Qiu Mingzi also took out a very important jade slip, which recorded the location of Ning Kuang's main body. For the current Yi Tian, to deal with Ning Kuang, he must first determine the location of his main body. In this world, only Ning Kuang's clone could possibly know. He had inquired about it several times, but none of the Body Integration cultivators in the Infernal Court had the chance to see its true body.
Even the elders of the Yellow Springs Guards did not know the exact location of his true body. This was not a good thing for Yi Tian.
Fortunately, he met Blue Sky Enchantress this time, and then followed the clues to find Qiu Mingzi. After receiving the jade slip, Yi Tian spread it out on his palm and scanned it with his Divine Sense. Ten breaths later, there was no joy on his face. Instead, he frowned slightly.
After reading through the contents of the jade slip, he turned around and asked, "Fellow Daoist, this jade slip doesn't clearly describe the location of Ning Kuang's main body. Why is that?"
Qiu Mingzi sighed and said, "You have to know that Ning Kuang doesn't even trust me. Naturally, he wouldn't reveal the exact location of his main body to anyone. Even if you manage to capture the Netherworld Child, I'm afraid you won't be able to find the true body of Ning Kuang by searching his soul. "
"That is true." Yi Tian nodded and said, "But if I can't find his main body, I can't think of any countermeasures. It seems that it will be very difficult for us to reach a consensus."
"Brother Yi, there is no need to be anxious." Qiu Mingzi smiled and said, "I mentioned in this jade slip that Ning Kuang's main body is most likely to be hiding in two places in the Infernal Court. The first is in the ten thousand kilometer area called the 'Thunder Cloud Mist Area', and the second is under the Netherworld Imperial Capital. "
"Fellow Daoist, you are only guessing based on your own suspicions." Yi Tian curled his lips and said, "In fact, you are not completely sure which place is where Ning Kuang's main body is hiding."
Qiu Mingzi thought for a moment and said, "At first, I guessed that it was the ten thousand kilometer area of the 'Thunder Cloud Mist Area'. After all, that place is the most hidden place in the Infernal Court. Even I didn't enter to investigate it back then."
"Oh, is that so? Then what do you think now?" Yi Tian asked.
"After being trapped in the Netherworld Imperial Capital for thousands of years, I feel that there is at least a seventy percent chance that Ning Kuang is hiding under the Imperial Capital, so I am more inclined to the second judgment." Qiu Mingzi explained.
"Why does fellow Daoist say so?" Yi Tian asked.
"I once looked through the records of the Netherworld Great Emperor." Qiu Mingzi said, "His physical body needs to be reforged before it can be compatible with the fused Soul. Refining the physical body is not an easy thing to do, so he should have found another way to use other methods."
"Other methods?" Yi Tian was puzzled and said, "What could it be?"
"Blood Devouring, or Physical Body Cultivation, constantly absorbing the essence of other physical bodies. Something like that." Qiu Mingzi said.
"This is somewhat similar to the fusion of flesh and blood in the Blood Dao Cultivation Method," Yi Tian replied with a serious expression.
"Something like that." Qiu Mingzi said, "I found that in the past thousands of years, the cultivators in the Netherworld Imperial Capital have been constantly fighting, and after these cultivators died, their bodies would disappear for no reason. There are cultivators from the Jin Dan stage to the Soul Formation stage, and this situation is becoming more and more common. It's just that the scenes of fighting in the Netherworld Imperial Capital are constantly happening, so everyone thinks that it's a common occurrence. "
"Is that so? Then why would the bodies of these dead cultivators disappear for no reason?" Yi Tian asked, "Your main body is a mid Body Integration stage cultivator, but you can't detect the problem?"
Qiu Mingzi shook her head and said, "To be able to hide from my main body's divine sense, it would naturally be Ning Kuang's main body. Not to mention, the soul fragment I left in my main body is usually in a dormant state. This is also to avoid that bastard Ning Kuang, and it will only awaken when I enter a private Sumeru Space."
Hearing this, Yi Tian lowered his head and thought. The two places that Qiu Mingzi mentioned were both suspicious, at least the Netherworld Imperial Capital was more reliable. After thinking for a while, he slowly sighed and said, "Alright, I understand the information you gave me. Then tell me, how can fellow Daoist help me?"
"You will definitely go to the Netherworld Realm, and at that time, you will also encounter the Netherworld Child." After saying this, Qiu Mingzi's eyes were unmistakably fierce, and then she continued, "I want you to help me kill the Netherworld Child. Only then can I force Ning Kuang's main body to appear."
"It's not easy to kill the Netherworld Boy." Yi Tian didn't directly agree. Instead, he looked at Qiu Mingzi and said, "I can understand your thoughts. Without the three avatars, the Azure Sky Enchantress' words alone can't be completely trusted. Therefore, it's reasonable to force him to show himself under such circumstances."
"That is indeed so." Qiu Mingzi said, "This is only the first step. His main body still has not completely collected the scattered souls, so there is a huge flaw in his soul. So you should be able to think of a way to deal with him, not to mention you have the Netherworld Guards to help you. "
Speaking of the Netherworld Guards, Yi Tian thought of the Grand Elder Yan Yunjing, who was also another clone of Ning Kuang. Although he must have used a Secret Technique to force Ning Kuang to not dare to use force, he was still a hidden danger. Perhaps he had been plotted against and then absorbed by Ning Kuang. Thinking of this, Yi Tian curled his lips and said, "Do you know Yan Yunjing of the Netherworld Guards?"
"Who doesn't know that Old Ghost Yan? He is an old man who has lived for ten thousand years," Qiu Mingzi replied, "And his true identity is the same as Ning Kuang, one of the scattered souls of the previous Netherworld Great Emperor."
"Oh, you also know?" Yi Tian showed a surprised expression.
"Speaking of which, Yan Yunjing was born at the wrong time. His Soul awakened several thousand years later than Ning Kuang. If it was in their original state, the power of their Souls would be almost the same, but after absorbing a lot of scattered souls, Ning Kuang is obviously much stronger than Yan Yunjing, "Qiu Mingzi explained.
"In other words, Yan Yunjing is barely holding on. If he is careless, he will be absorbed by Ning Kuang," Yi Tian teased.
"Yan Yunjing's lifespan is almost close to that of a late Body Integration cultivator, but if he dies, his Soul will definitely be spied on by Ning Kuang," Qiu Mingzi said, "But I believe that Yan Yunjing will definitely not sit still and wait for death. It is said that the Netherworld Guards have not seen his main body for several thousand years. If it were not for his Soul Lamp still being lit, they might have thought that he had died. "
"Is that so? I guess even Wan Zhongliu may not know Yan Yunjing's whereabouts?" Yi Tian sighed.
"That should be the case," Qiu Mingzi said, "I'm afraid only Ning Kuang's main body can detect Yan Yunjing's whereabouts, and they have maintained the peace of the Nether Realm for several thousand years like this. But this balance will be broken sooner or later, and when that time comes, the Nether Realm will undergo earth-shattering changes."
"Maybe that will be the best time for you to take back your main body," Yi Tian said with a smile, "I don't think Yan Yunjing will compromise peacefully. At the very least, he will struggle with his life on this matter."
"You are right, I believe that time is not far away," Qiu Mingzi said, "In fact, even if my Soul is possessed a few more times, it will not be able to do so. But if the power of my Soul continues to weaken, I am afraid that I may not be able to fuse with my main body again in the future."
Yi Tian turned to look at her, then asked, "There is one thing that I have been thinking about for a long time, may I ask Fellow Daoist to enlighten me?"
"I can guess what you want to say. Why am I so obsessed with taking back my main body?" Qiu Mingzi smiled bitterly and helplessly before replying, "If taking over someone else's body can raise my cultivation, that would be the best. But because I am limited by the cultivation method I cultivate, even if I use the body of a descendant of my bloodline, I can only cultivate to the peak of the late Divine Transformation Stage. I am unable to break through to the next realm."
"I see, no wonder Fellow Daoist asked me to cooperate. It seems that you are also unwilling," Yi Tian said.
"That is indeed the case, which is why I did not hesitate to contact people who can help me," Qiu Mingzi said, "Actually, Yan Yunjing is also in contact with me. But now, it is better for you to contact him. After all, I am already powerless to deal with Ning Kuang. I can only rely on you."
"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to be so humble," Yi Tian said with a wave of his hand, "The clues you provided have already saved me a lot of detours. Also, I have a rough idea of how to deal with Ning Kuang. But everything still has to start from the exploration of the fragment of the Immortal Realm with the Netherworld Child. "
"Other than forcing out Ning Kuang's main body, do you have any other ideas?" Qiu Mingzi said, "I can also reveal a key thing to you."
"May I know what it is?" Yi Tian asked. From what Qiu Mingzi said, this key thing should not be simple. It might even be the key to dealing with Ning Kuang.
"Every thousand years, Ning Kuang's main body will enter the Heaven's Decay stage. At that time, his strength will be greatly weakened," Qiu Mingzi said, "This is also something that my main body noticed after thousands of years of sensing. Although the intensity of the sensing is very weak, it is very obvious that during those few days, Ning Kuang's control over his doppelganger will be the weakest."
So there was such a thing. At this moment, Yi Tian was also interested. If Ning Kuang's main body really entered the Heaven's Decay stage, then those few days would be when he was at his weakest. Logically speaking, his control over his doppelganger could be considered to be extremely meticulous. If Bi Luo's main body could sense that his control over his doppelganger was weakening, then it must be true.
"At that time, will his cultivation also be weakened?" Yi Tian asked.
"That is for sure," Qiu Mingzi said, "his cultivation has never truly reached the early stage of the Great Ascension realm. Speaking of which, he can only be considered a fake Great Ascension realm cultivator."
"Then compared to me?" Yi Tian asked.
"Brother Yi, don't overestimate yourself. Although your strength is strong, but you have not touched the threshold of advancing to the Great Ascension realm," Qiu Mingzi looked at him and said bluntly, "With your current strength, you have absolutely no chance of winning against Ning Kuang's main body. Not to mention it is in the Nether Realm. He has the geographical advantage and his strength can be increased by more than 30%. Only during the period when he is in the Heaven's Decay stage will you have a chance to defeat him in the Nether Realm. "
"En, that's about the same as my estimate," Yi Tian nodded and replied, "Then I don't know how long Ning Kuang's Heaven's Decay will last. I need a precise time."
"It is estimated to be some day 30 years later. If I'm not wrong, it should be not long after you enter the fragment of the Immortal Realm, so you have to plan well." Qiu Mingzi counted with a solemn expression, "I can't be sure of the specific day, but there are three days in total. I can sense it at most half a day in advance and send you a message."
It turned out that the Heaven's Decay would last for three days, but since Qiu Mingzi could sense it half a day in advance, it was already a great help to his actions. He believed that the upcoming exploration of the fragment of the Immortal Realm in the Nether Realm would be extremely intense.
Later, Yi Tian exchanged contact information with Qiu Mingzi, so that she could contact him as soon as she sensed it.
After doing this, Yi Tian asked again, "I don't know if you know the Ten Thousand Dragons Swamp in this world. I still have to go there."
"What are you going to do in that damn place?" Qiu Mingzi said with a surprised expression, "That is the gathering place of the vipers, and the nest of the black-winged doudragons is also in the center of the Ten Thousand Dragons Swamp. Although you are strong, don't provoke these vipers. Otherwise, once they appear, the Infernal Court will not be peaceful."
